EE commerce

[chriz]

Hello Pekka,

I'm still unsure how to use EE commerce, here are a few questions that I hope will clear up my mind.

Select EE commerce template:
displays 4 choices... How can I add/rename/delete choices ?
Lets say I create an entirely new template (or modify an existing one and then rename it) how can I have it display in the dropdown-menu?

PAYPAL
In my account I can go to Merchant tools and filling in several fields PAYPAL then produces the code to integrate within the html-code of my website.
I have used it before an my website without a problem, but I'm a little puzzled as I'm totally new to PHP and how to integrate it within paypalcart.php
I will be using the paypal shopping cart so people can order more than one picture at the time.

I would also like to sell the original digital file and wanted to know if IPN (instant payment notification) will work with EE ? When payment is accepted, the photo could be downloaded immediately.

Sorry to bother you (I know you're busy this week)

Anyone who has some experience with the EE-commerce side of Exhibit Engine.

Maybe an example website or two ?

Code ?

You add a path to the template in EE commerce editor. When the actual template file is found, EE will show it. You can test this by copying mail.php template and renaming the copy to test.php and adding its path to EE commerce editor.

The paypal cart accepts only one item at a time, as fas as I know. I will dig into this after 1.5 is done, maybe Paypal has improved their system.

EE commerce works so that it only gives a form the data it needs, the capabilities of form are governed by the service it is sent to.

I would also like to sell the original digital file and wanted to know if IPN (instant payment notification) will work with EE ? When payment is accepted, the photo could be downloaded immediately.

This is also on my "must check" list.
